A Man Passing Through

Loosely chronological, this Selected Poems (comprising about half the poems of a consistently productive career) is a wry, witty and insightful collection, gathering together the various strands making up an ordinary life – family, early years, student days, the publishing trade, holidays in Brittany, climbing in the Scottish mountains, retirement in Fife, birdwatching, getting older, and many others.

Taken together A Man Passing Through stands as a remarkable portrait of a life lived in and through letters.
